Description

The two-year MSc
programme in Economics and Management gives students an in-depth knowledge of a
range of economics and management disciplines. The programme is flexible,
giving the students the opportunity to specialise in a specific field or in a
combination of economics and management topics.
Researchers in
the programme work in the fields of accounting, finance, macroeconomics,
microeconomics, econometrics, and economics of business. The MSc programme
allows students to create a personal academic profile within one or across
several of these fields. Progress in the chosen courses is closely followed and
monitored to ensure the students’ academic development. Each semester, the
department offers about thirty elective courses. The broad range of courses
allows you to specialise in a particular field of interest and to compose an
individual course programme.

Economics and management graduates are in very high demand on the labour market.
